Belleville Hunter, his MeMn.law. after-
ttiinler. art collector, was away from
' Jot" Wro described to Supremo Court
justice Ertaimer yesterday by Mm. Bess o
Conner, formerly a maid for tho Hunt-
era1.
The divorce suit brousht by Mrs.
Hunter against her husband was finished
ind his countercharge. In which ho named
Kcrfoot as corespondent, was taken up
with Mrs. Conover as the first witness.
She began to be suspicious, pho said,
when, durlnc the many nbsenccs of
HUnter on art collecting tours, his wlfo
and Kerfoot had cocktails and champagne
for dinner.
"What elso did you Fee?" asked Carlisle
Norwood, counsel for Hunter.
"TVoll," replied tho maid, "ho used to
out her to bed In tho little hall room on
Uoslte his. and I didn't think It proper.
Then he would sit beside her, and If ho
heard any one coming ho would try to
biat them to tho door."
The witness described how the Hunters
and Kerfoot lived together, which they
had done slnco Mrs. Kcrfoot, who was
Hunter's sister, died, and then told of
seeing Kerfoot often como from Mrs.
Hunter's room In tho morning.
"Onco I saw him kiss her, but they
didn't see me," she volunteered,
Mrs. Hunter, a portly, white-haired
woman, mado audible comments ns the
maid testified, and glared at her elderly
husband, whose likeness to the lato King
Edward of England caused n Pullman
porter to recognize him many months
after ho made a trip to Now Orleans with
Mrs. Sarah B. Grenor, named ns co
respondent by Mrs. Hunter. Kerfoot, also
elderly, studied tho celling.
Police Court Chronicles
.Tim Connelly Is a born salesman. To
him everything Is simply so many dollars
and cents In nnothor form. Ho Is, there
fore, Impelled to change everything to Its
proper condition. He sold his overcoat
and also his lint, but became Inconsistent
by Investing the money In drink.
When tho funds wore exhausted the
first thing he spied was n cow. It had
strayed nway from a herd on the way
to a drove yard. Knowing that the price
of beef was high, Jim decided to sell the
animal quickly at a reduced figure. He
caught It by the neck and announced
that It was for sale to the highest bid.
der. Acting Detective Duff happened
along, nnd was convinced that Jim was
not n real drover. Ho declared that he
had found tho cow, nnd had the right to
sell It. Then ho launched Into an ora
tion on the rights of citizenship, and In
cidentally denounced the law and all
things connected with It. Tho owner of
the cow arrived nnd chased It back to
Its herd.
When Jim was brought beforo Magis
trate Dletz, at tho Trenton nvenue nnd
. Dauphin street station, hV declared that
liquor always mado him do things that
he couldn't remembor. He was finally In
duced to swear off nnd Btlclr to tea and
coffee.
Then he made profuse apologies, and as
no serious charge was pressed by tho
owner of tho cow Jim was given anofr:r
chance.

NOW AN ATTORNEY AT LAW
Miss C a r b 1 i n c K. Ken
worthy, Philndelphia r i r 1
nna iuio gratlunto of thi
law department of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania,
Who was admitted to prac
tice of law in the Federal
Courts this week. She i3
23 yenrs old nnd was born
in this city. She is tho
daughter of nn attorney,
nnd long before she obtained
her license she hnd familinr
ized herself with tho law
by working in his office. She
now is her father's law
partner with offices on
South Pcnn squnrc.
YOUNG WOMAN LAWYER HAS
PRACTICE IN U. S. COURTS
Miss Caroline K. Kenworthy, Business Partner
of Her Father, a Prominent Member of
the Philadelphia Bar
JIIss Caroline K. Kenworthy, attorney
at law, licensed to practlco law In tho
Federal courts of tho United States of
America.
Sounds Imposing almost forbidding,
doesn't It?
But there Is nothing forbidding or Im
posing about tho young woman, who hns
just had that honor conferred upon her.
She Is a womanly woman of tho type
which oire Instinctively respects, admires
and trustB.
Thcro Is nothing masculine about thla
young lawyer, although sho tool; her
three-year law courso at tho University of
Pennsylvania with the men ; thoro was
only one other girl, Miss Allco Moran, of
Oil City, In tho class with her. Sho Is the
typo of woman men llko nnd trust. She
Is not a clinging vine typo and not a
mannish woman, but a capable human
being with tho emphasis on the human.
She can cool: and sew and keep houBe ns
well as practlco law.
Miss Kenworthy Is tho daughter of Mr.
nnd Mrs. Joseph W. Kenwr.thy, 4835
Cedar avenue. Her father Is ono of tho
most prominent attorneys In Philadelphia
He Is proud of tho achievements of his
remarkable young daughter, who la still
In the early half of her twenties. Ho
told with pardonable pride of the way In
which she had worked in his oHlce an
average of three nine-hour days overy
week during her three-year course at the
University of Pennsylvania, and said that
sho emphatically refused to take moro
than a two weeks' vacation each summer.
"And why do-you suppose sho did this?"
asked Mr. Kenworthy, speaking of tho
three days' work sho did each week. "Be
cause sho wanted ine to bo homo evenings.
She said to me, ,'If I do not help you with
the cases, you will have to spend too many
evenings In tho odlce, and wo want you
with us in the evening.' "
Miss Kenworthy Is a human dynamo
when It comes to work. ,
Now she Is a partner with her father
In tholr spacious omces In the Financo
Building, on South Penn Square. But sho
does not give up her college activities.
Miss Kenworthy took part In many at
tho University, and she does not want
to "loso track" of her friends. Sho Is
a member of tho Delta Delta Delta fra
ternity and during her senior year wns
president of the organization. Last sum
mer she was the University of Pennsyl
MEMORIES OF CUSTER
REUNITE OLD FRIENDS
Aged Folk Rccogniza Each Other ns
Result of Discussion
A discussion about General Custer's
last charge at the battle of Little Big
Horn resulted in two old Inmates at Har
rison Home, which Is attached to the
Episcopal Hospital, In recognizing each
other today. Years ago, they lost track
of each other while doing missionary
work on art Indian reservation In South
Dakota.
The Itev. John Itoblnson, 70 years old,
of Yankton, S. D., and other inmates at
the Harrison Home today were telling
stories of Incidents which occurred In
the days when tho Ogallala tribe, headed
by Chief lied Cloud, were Important fac
tors In the West. The Itev. Mr. Robin
son, who Is a naMve of Philadelphia,
spent more than '50 years among the
Indians.
Among those who listened to tho stories
was Miss Jennie Dickinson, of Mitchell,
S. D. She Is 68 years old, Suddenly, the
discussion turned to General Custer.
"Yes, I remember the day General Cus.
ter went away," said Miss Dickinson.
"And bo do I," replied the Itev. Mr.
Robinson,
Later It developed that both Miss Dick
inson and tho Itev. Mr. Itoblnson wit
nessed the scene of General Custer's fatal
departure,
Both Miss Dickinson and the Ilev. Mr.
noblnson then mentioned names of per
sons whom they knew In the West. As
the discussion continued both recognized
each otlter.
"TAG DAY" FOR HOSPITAL AID
NBoys and Girls Raise Fund for West
Philadelphia Institution
Hundreds of Boy Scouts und Campflre
Girls' will canvass the city today as part
ot the "Tag Day" of the West Philadel
phia General Homeopathic Hospital to
raise a fund of J13.000, by means of
which (he hospital will be enabled to
catch up with Its running expenses.
The hospital administers to a large sec
tion of West Philadelphia and vicinity,
and he majority pt Its -cases are those
ot the laboring class who are hurt in
automobile aqd railroad accidents and
are not ableyto payfor surgical atten
tion or even for their own surgical needs.
The hospltaj has no money In the form
of endowments and for that reason Is
making the "unusual-for-lt plea" today to
help alleviate Its condition So the
friends of the hospital are asking that
public-spirited citizens of Philadelphia,
when approached, by one of the khaki
clad Scouts pr Campflre airls, take one
of the American flags and slip a sub
stantial amount Into their hands.

vania delegate to the national convention
In California.
Miss Kenworthy Is a great believer In
coeducation to dovclop young people at
tending college nnd to broaden their Ideas
and their Ideals.
"t hope the day will come when the lib
eral arts courso at tho University of Penn
sylvania will bo open to women," she said.
"I hopo that It will not ho long beforo
some one will realize what It will mean to
Philadelphia young women to have nn op
portunity to go to tho Unierslty with tho
same chances that tho young mon have."
Miss Kenworthy has tho distinction of
being the only young woman In Philadel
phia who is In partnership with her father
In a law ofllce. The father has Ideas of
his oun nbout the business understanding,
nnd Incidentally these Ideas nro tho samo
as those of the attorney-daughter. They
aro partners In more than name. The prof
Its of the business are divided between tho
girl and her fathor just as though she
were a man In tho firm. J.ast September,
when Miss Kenworthy became a member
of tho Arm, It was agreed that she should
have certain amounts In advanco each
month, Just as a man would If ho were In
the partnership, and that at the end of the
fiscal year tho profits should bo divided In
tne same manner.
Miss Kenworthy loves her "work. That Is
one of the reasons for her success, but sho
Is also a believer In the maxim that all
work and no play makes Jack and also
Jill dull.
AVlien asked what part of her work she
liked best. Miss Kenworthy unhesitatingly
said : "I like the digging, the working up
of tho cases, tho actual work, even better
than tho court work. Xo, I am never ner
vous In court, but I hato the waiting
around. Tho eternal waiting and watting
Is really such a waste of tlmo. It Is be
causo I havo been active, I suppose, that
I want to get Into tho work and do It.
Standing around In the courts seems such
a shame when there Is so much to do."
She was admitted to tho Municipal Court
last fall, to tho Orphans' Court October 22,
to tho Court of Common Pleas on October
2E, to tho Supremo Court of Pennsylvania
on January 3 and to tho Federal Courts on
March 1.
JIIss Kenworthy has to wait until she
has practiced live years before she has a
right to enter the Supremo Court of the
United States. That Is a question of tlmo ;
it has to bo by law. Taking her examina
tions from tho State and entering the va
rious courts so soon after graduation as
she has is considered phenomenal.

FREIGHT EMBARGO HERE
BLAMED ON MUNITIONS
Truffle Munugers Will Protest
to Interstnte Commerce Com
mission on Monduy
An emphatic piolost against the clog
ging of tho port of rhllndetphla with war
munitions will be lodged with tho Inter
Mnle Commerce Commission when Hint
body holds hearings In Washington next
Monday nnd Tuesday on freight conges
tion In Eastern railroad terminals.
Joseph Biles, traffic manager of Henry
Dlslton Saw Works, nnd a member nt
the Executive Committee of the Com
mercial Traffic Mnnagcrs' Association of
Philadelphia, will point out to tho commis
sion that the freight embargoes In Phila
delphia, Jfew York nnd New England nro
duo entirely lo the millions of tons of
wnr materials stalled In Eastern ports,
awaiting shipment to the Allies. It Is
probnblo that Mr. Biles and other mem
bers of his association will nBk for n
ruling which will so regulnto munition
shipments that they will not cause a
freight' blockngo ngnln,
"Tho unprecedented congestion In tho
ports of Philadelphia nnd New York,"
said Mr. Biles. "Is duo almost entirely to
tho clogging of tenlilnnls with munitions
of war. About 90 per cent, of tho merchant
vessels arc now being used na tmnspoits
by the Allies, so that there Is a great
scarcity of bottoms. As n result great
quantities of munitions lematn for weeks
In railroad cars nwaltlng shipment.
Thousands nnd thousands of freight cars
aro being tied up In this manner.
"The munitions business Is only tempor
ary nnd 1 don't think that other man
ufacturers should bo made to suffer. In
the port of Philadelphia tho blockade has
been caused by munltlot.s of war. It Is
my Intention to point out tho truo condi
tion of nffnlrs to the Interstate Commis
sion. I think n ruling should bo made
which would prohibit shipment of muni
tions until esscls nro In port ready lo
load."
Mr. Biles will go to Washington with a
delegation from the Commercial TrafHc
Malingers' Association of Philadelphia.
The delegation will bo headed by W. O.
Grieves, president of tho association, nnd
trnfllc manager for S. L. Allen & Co.,
manufacturers of agricultural Instruments,
fith street and Glenwod avenue. A dele
gation of business men nnd manufactur
ers from tho Chamber of Commerce will
also attend tho hearings.
Mr. Grieves, talking today of tho In
terstate Commerce Commission hearings,
said:
"As far as outbound freight Is con
cerned, Philadelphia manufacturers nro
suffering the most from tho embargo In
Now England. Wo want a thorough probo
Into the New England sltuntlon, and other
phases of tho Philadelphia, New York
and New England embargoes."
Mr. Grieves stated that tho lifting of
tho embargo In tho northeastern section
of the city by the Pennsylvania Railroad
had already brought great relief to the
big textile district of Kensington, and to
manufacturers In Frankford nnd Brides
burg. Great quantities of coal, steel and
other raw material were released today,
nnd tho danger of a shutdown of factories
in tho northeastern section has at least
been temporarily averted.
